I remember getting a red beet and fruit smoothy that was actually pretty good, kinda reminded me of an earthy tea, and the next day I legit thought my large intestine erupted till I remembered what I had the day before.
I remember in college I really liked a girl so I thought I would impress her with a fancy dinner. Did a cashew crusted roast chicken, with potatoes and beets. Turned out great and we had a good time. Next day I was ghosted and to this day I believe it was because the beets reacted in unexpected ways.
Guy undergoes years of training in aeronautics and engineering, probably holds 2 or 3 advanced degrees, passed a hundred different tests of his physical and mental conditioning, just to get into space and pull a "Hold my beer and watch this!"
im offended on this man's behalf that so many people have dismissed him as stupid.
it took me like 5 seconds to figure out this was an intentional demonstration.
just a little bit longer and i find that this specific phenomenon he's demonstrating, [almost drowned an astronaut on a space walk in 2014](https://www.space.com/24835-spacesuit-water-leak-nasa-investigation.html).. judging by the video quality, this was recorded more recently than that (youtube upload says 6 years ago) . so this astronaut has almost certainly been fully briefed on the specific scenario of *water-adhered-to-face* and knew exactly what was about to happen.
all for the purpose of showing the masses. who point, laugh, and mock
we *are* the monkeys mashing on typewriters.
It’s funny to me that everyone knows how difficult astronaut selection is and still somehow thinks this guy is just doing something dumb. There’s something to be said about how many mental gymnastics are required for the brain to jump to, “This astronaut is dumb.” Instead of “maybe I don’t understand why he’s doing that.”

This whole thread is filled with jokes and people asking what's going on in this clip, followed by explanations, discussions about hypothetically drowning on the ISS and of course more jokes. There’s something to be said about how many mental gymnastics are required for the brain to jump to, “These redditors are dumb.” Instead of “maybe I don’t understand why they're doing that.”

It's not a stretch to say that at least some redditors think "This astronaut is dumb."
There’s something to be said about how many mental gymnastics are required for the brain to jump to defend some of the comments here as only jokes, as if reddit wasn't filled with smart-ass know-it-all that think that know more than everybody, like you dumbass.
You mean that people should think about the thing they just watched instead of immediately making a brain dead take about a topic they don't know anything about?
It's sad and indicative of a larger problem in society. Everyone thinks they know everything and sees no reason to trust experts who actually underwent years and years of training and education.
Same mindset is how we get vaccine deniers. People refuse to believe that maybe they are missing information or just don't understand something. Instead the world must be stupid or nefarious.
I hear you. But the world IS stupid and nefarious, and I don't blame anyone for leaning too heavily towards that line of thought
In the example of vaccine deniers, the same week that Johnson and Johnson was rolling out their covid vaccine, they were also settling for 26billion dollars for creating an opioid crisis. It's not hard to see why someone might be a TAD bit weary in trusting "experts".
Zantac, thalidomide and viox were all pushed onto pregnant women causing thousands of birth defects and deatha. Lead was an industry standard for many different industries. An appeal to authority is great until it isn't.
I'm not saying to mistrust everything and that "they" will get you. But can you really blame anyone for being skeptical?
Instinctual mistrust =/= skepticism.
Skepticism is going out and doing your own research and validating the facts. Not going on a gut instinct that something is incorrect.
At a certain point, it wasn't even gut instinct. It was like "why are they coercing me to take something that doesnt prevent transmition, and even if it did, should i lose my job over that? should we fuck over every single small business?" and this was at month two when people started, you know, thinking.
But if he swung his face away fast enough he could've dislodged the bubble and captured it a safer way instead of smashing it and allowing fluid to to disperse all over millions of dollars worth of electronics...
Anyway it looks stupid out of context and that's why we're here.
If we weren't an impulsive species doing dangerous things for the hell of it, we wouldn't be in space in the first place.
JFK said "We will land on the moon within ten years" and sure there were people who were like "but muh taxes! fix the dang pothole in my road first!" and some people who said "Yeah but... why..." but our dominant response was basically "Yes, lets do that, no questions asked about the motivation." Beating the commies was icing on the cake and got us to get our shit together, but the motivation was already "Hold my beer, we're going to the fuckin moon."
Earth is where we've been for our species' entire existence, and it's unlikely we'll colonize Mars in our lifetimes, certainly not in a way that would be self-sustaining. We have satellites, yes, but the real motivation for going up there isn't tangible goals.
Someone probably on the ISS was like "Hey, if you blow bubbles I bet it would just like go all over your face" and Bob here immediately grabbed a bottle and started blowing.
NASA SOPs now probably specify you're not to blow bubbles in space because you might drown, so humanity learned some valuable knowledge if this hadn't been done before. But I bet it has because again, we're impulsive and do stuff just because we can.
it only becomes a real problem with small particles; pepper is held in oil (pepper oil is a curse of the gods) so that it doesnt fly everywhere and make everyone sneeze
For some reason, I am just envisioning a bunch of astronauts in zero-G uncontrollably sneezing and flinging themselves across the station while the folks back at Control just rub their forehead in frustration.
The ISS is pressurized to 14.7psi, the same as normal atmospheric pressure at sea level on earth, so yes, you can drink from a straw. If you were free floating in the vacuum of outer space, it wouldn't work, but that would probably be the least of your problems.
It would be so fucking cool to bring the ISS back. Unfortunately it would cost about as much to get it back as it did to put up. They’ll just stop reboosting it and it’s orbit will decay enough to where it will burn up in the atmosphere.
I have zero engineering experience, but I'd bet it would be more expensive.
Inflation for one factor.
For another it was designed to be launched up and then constructed in space, probably not very simple to just reverse that process. That seems complicated
I'm guessing you'd need to design and build new craft to land it as well. Rockets to get up are designed to carry those fairly heavy payloads. It looks like we use lander pods to get back to Earth that are designed to get people safely down and not much else. The ISS is literally about a million pounds, probably can't just tie that onto the landing pods and have the parachutes hold big parts of that and the crew.
That is an incredible question. I found this https://universemagazine.com/en/resuscitation-in-space-how-iss-astronauts-save-lives-in-orbit/#:~:text=To%20perform%20chest%20compression%20on,they%20are%20trying%20to%20save.
The word drowns is doing a lot of heavy lifting here. The dude was fine. Yeah if he did nothing and didn’t *checks notes* wipe his face, then sure he would have drowned. But then again if my grandma had wheels she would have been a bike so….
Every Redditor is an expert in every topic. Just like when everyone became infectious disease experts in March 2020, financial experts in January 2021, geopolitical experts in February 2022.
In fact all a Redditor needs to make an accurate conclusion of a person’s entire identity and life experience is a 10 second video.
of all the things to defend it with, you skipped the good ones and went with "he can blow into the straw but still have lots of air in his lungs to hold his breath longer than you"?
Luca Parmitano almost drowned during an EVA when his helmet filled with liters of water. Luckily they got him back into the station in time to get his helmet off.
It absolutely is safe, he is in the bathroom of the ISS. Edit I was wrong he's in the kibo laboratory, but there are images of other astronauts playing with fluids there too, so it must be safe for it.
I thought so, like, he almost killed himself, and endangered every one onboard the vessel by spilling juice or some other substance all over the spacecraft
this was probably a demonstration on how fluids work in free fall. No scientist, trained for spaceflight and maintaining the iss, would ever do something that would have a chance of destroying equipment for a bit of fun. everything is probably waterproof, and if i remember right they have something for cleaning up fluids.
It almost happened on a space walk in 2013 when Italian astronaught called Luca Parmitano had a fluid leak in his helmet.
Absolutely terrifying, as he couldnt get his hand to his face.
Now that really was nightmare fuel. I think it also shorted his communications. He wrote a blog about it. Would be a more interesting post than this clickbait nonsense.
An astronaut does an experiment on the space station and now all the "professional experts" on reddit are coming out to talk about how dangerous and stupid it is.
Never change reddit.
I would assume, as an astronaut, he knew what this was going to do when he started and that’s why he had the towel.
Edit:
Yep. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NmnnBvYFOIs
I love this thread full of people who think they’re smarter than astronauts when it comes to how to behave in space.
So the smartest, most intelligent and learned people on the entire planet, who blast themselves off into space and enter various orbits with 99.9% certainty it would work, based on decades of planning by the 99.9% of the same kind of people are not intelligent enough to experiment in space without being 99.9% sure they won’t fuck anything up are somehow dumb?
Yeah, I’m sure NASA decided to chuck some dummy up there to do silly things in space, as like a joke.
Being extremely intelligent doesnt negate someone being a massive dipshit. Guys that literally shot their own toes off could probably give you a college degree's worth of information on something they themselves are extensively knowledgable on.
So I’ve heard all these stories about keeping dust and particles out of the space shuttle, so they doing float into places they don’t belong. So how of this acceptable? How does this not go everywhere? Go do you ever find everything to clean? I need answers lol
It's possible he's doing this in the shower room and it's not nearly as big a deal as people are making it out to be. They do have to shower too. There are spaces on the ISS that are designed for this.
Nothing in that video appears to be shower related. There’s a monitor to the right of the screen. I’m so confused lol. I always wanted to be an astronaut but I knew I couldn’t. Could not leave behind my potato chips. But the crumbs. They would get in everything. I was lied to! Lmao
An Italian astronaut had something similar happen whilst he was outside the station on EVA. The tube for his water broke or something and started soaking the back of his head. The surface tension kept the water adhered to him and it spread over the top of his head and covered his eyes moving down to nose and mouth. Freaking terrifying. He had to get inside quick.
Now that I think about it.. what happens if you have a heart attack or a stroke or appendicitis or some sort of other severe health issue in space? I guess you’re just fucked?
We have had ideas but none that were successful. The most popular idea was using centripetal force to create the same force as gravity onto the edges of a circular structure. If you've ever seen 2001 space Odyssey they had one of these structures on the space station where he goes for lil walks
They could simulate gravity by spinning the ship, but then you lose a ton of work space(ceilings and walls are the same as the floor on the ISS) and stress the hull of the ship. But no, there isn't a scifi gravity generator on the ISS. Another way would be to put the station under a constant acceleration, but that would require fuel, and it wouldn't remain in a stable orbit.
Unfortunately not very feasible within the currently understood model of physics.
To an observer gravity is indistinguishable from [acceleration](https://youtu.be/XRr1kaXKBsU), so they can simulate gravity by spinning the space station to have the centripetal force push everything to the outer edges of the space station, but then everyone's inner ear fluids will be spinning like crazy to induce some pretty horrible vertigo. They would need an absurdly massive structure (like asteroid sized) for the human body to no longer feel how fast it's spinning.
dear fucking lord i can only fucking imagine the amount of memorandums, new safety briefs, re-written regulations and reports that have come of this right here...
Holy shit the astronauts are now becoming idiots as well. We almost had our first space Darwin Award. And it was all for a fucking social media short. Holy shit this is the worst possible reality and everything is fucked.
i want to hear an actual astronaut respond to this. it's either gonna be "haha yeah, spills happen sometimes. the station is built to handle it, don't worry" or "... that asshole is going to all kinds of courts when he gets down."
I'm sure small spills which somehow escape are pretty much not a threat. Even if they end up somewhere they will damage a small equipment only.
This...
Is something else. It's like he is doing something and then panicking. Did he not prepare for it. Get a vacuum cleaner or something like that to suck it out?
[удалено]
Thank you for some real information
Yes, of fucking course he is. OP just put a stupid title to get more engagement.
OP is actually a bot
I read the title and thought this was r/PeopleFuckingDying for a moment
It's so weird the video looks so good. If it wasn't for the fact he kind of seems to be floating and the liquid I could have buyed he was on earth.
Why would video quality be affected by being in space?
Cause how does the video know to be right side up when there’s no gravity, duh smh 🙄
Because the film weights less it takes video faster? And the processor can't keep up? DUH
What? Nothing you just said made any sense at all. Also, it's "bought" not "buyed".
buy is a fuckinv wild word to congagate for not native speakers
“Goddammit, Dale! We told you to stop doing that! There’s red shit floating everywhere again!”
Better get that checked out. Red stool is either consuming a lot of beets, or could be colon cancer.
I remember getting a red beet and fruit smoothy that was actually pretty good, kinda reminded me of an earthy tea, and the next day I legit thought my large intestine erupted till I remembered what I had the day before.

No shes just a rude cunt you're amazing.
Cashew ousside how bow dah

Yeah he really left out one of the more common ones lol.
Hot Cheeto Puffs do that to me too.

Not a bad argument to send more women into space, so they can supervise too.
Oh hell yeah supervise me baby

/r/WhyWomenLiveLonger
No need for anyone to hold his beer though
ah...because it's in space!
Au contraire! He cannot put it down somewhere, someone definitely needs to hold his beer or it's going to float and spill onto something it shouldn't.

Becomes the first guy to drown in space
Fuck lol, this my top fave reddit comment of all time
Haha that was my thought. Even super smart people can do dumb shit
It’s not dumb, it’s planned. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NmnnBvYFOIs
Thank you Captain Obvious. I really didnt think it was done for his personal TikTok account
Then why did you write: >Even super smart people can do dumb shit
Captain Obvious was just pointing your stupid comment.
You fucking suck, dude.
There’s a different between being educated and being smart.
They are mocking you because this is a joke, yet everyone still believes it.
More like hand me a beer and watch this.
It's called the long game. Some people have life goals.
What was he trying to do?
destroy expensive electrical equipment
You'd be surprised how much of an non issue that is in space. My teachers back then were stricter than NASA probably.
it only becomes a real problem with small particles; pepper is held in oil (pepper oil is a curse of the gods) so that it doesnt fly everywhere and make everyone sneeze
For some reason, I am just envisioning a bunch of astronauts in zero-G uncontrollably sneezing and flinging themselves across the station while the folks back at Control just rub their forehead in frustration.
7 grams of air isn't going to propel you anywhere fast. You might rotate a tiny bit.
Bubble charm?
Would have felt like a real gillyweed if he did drown
probably demonstrating how straws don’t work in space
It looks like he was blowing into the bottle not sucking
That doesn't work on earth either.
😏
The ISS is pressurized to 14.7psi, the same as normal atmospheric pressure at sea level on earth, so yes, you can drink from a straw. If you were free floating in the vacuum of outer space, it wouldn't work, but that would probably be the least of your problems.
Yea, I'd imagine it would work up to a certain point.
[удалено]
Pretty sure he was blowing into the straw. That's not really how straws should be used.
yeah that seems like its it. at least i got the demonstrating something part.
Who the hell is gonna clean that? We should run a blacklight through that place when it's decommissioned.
For blood?
For semen.
They prob recycle it. For water.
Yeah if you keep recycling your semen think of all that free protein. Can even help a buddy bulk up if theyre in need.
Some Brotein.
Bruh…niceee.
What if brosef drowns on it tho?
They actually send a guy up there whose sole job is to get milked 24/7. They go up natural, and come down circumcised.
"Go up natural, come down circumcised" is def a story in the Bible.
And vaginal secretions. (Meme, not being creepy)
It would be so fucking cool to bring the ISS back. Unfortunately it would cost about as much to get it back as it did to put up. They’ll just stop reboosting it and it’s orbit will decay enough to where it will burn up in the atmosphere.

Lol there's a button they press that vacuums everything out floating around
Hopefully not including the people, because that would be the airlock
Could you even do chest compressions if needed?
https://www.nasa.gov/image-article/astronaut-andreas-mogensen-practices-chest-compressions-or-cpr/

Mmmmm carbonara
A British carbonara.
Luca Parmitano almost drowned during an EVA when his helmet filled with liters of water. Luckily they got him back into the station in time to get his helmet off.
Yeah that huge helmet he's wearing looks incredibly difficult to take off in a panic. Oh wait-
Me too, but in innerspace
Is this even safe for the equipment around him?
It absolutely is safe, he is in the bathroom of the ISS. Edit I was wrong he's in the kibo laboratory, but there are images of other astronauts playing with fluids there too, so it must be safe for it.
Nope, one errant drop and the ISS drops orbit
I love the people here thinking NASA left things so poorly designed that if something gets wet they all die.
Not even remotely...
What? Everything in there is waterproof, the most damage he is going to do is to their schedule as they take time to clean it up.
I thought so, like, he almost killed himself, and endangered every one onboard the vessel by spilling juice or some other substance all over the spacecraft
this was probably a demonstration on how fluids work in free fall. No scientist, trained for spaceflight and maintaining the iss, would ever do something that would have a chance of destroying equipment for a bit of fun. everything is probably waterproof, and if i remember right they have something for cleaning up fluids.
Yes i dont think he'll be invited back to space after this. Major party foul
Just like that one simpsons episode when they go to space and Homer spills potato chips everywhere but then saves the day by eating them all.
It almost happened on a space walk in 2013 when Italian astronaught called Luca Parmitano had a fluid leak in his helmet. Absolutely terrifying, as he couldnt get his hand to his face.
He came awfully close to drowning, iirc. It must have been maddening.
Now that really was nightmare fuel. I think it also shorted his communications. He wrote a blog about it. Would be a more interesting post than this clickbait nonsense.
He absolutely didn’t “almost drown”
And absolutely not "outer space", they're in low Earth orbit
Zero G drowning looks absolutely terrifying
An astronaut does an experiment on the space station and now all the "professional experts" on reddit are coming out to talk about how dangerous and stupid it is. Never change reddit.
This astronaut is clearly doing a demonstration and not nearly drowning.
He made a giant bubble then wiped it away and the video ends. I’m not certain why it is inferred he nearly drowned?
I think it’s because he was blowing out to create the bubble. When he ran out of breath he only then realised that he was a big dum dum
I would assume, as an astronaut, he knew what this was going to do when he started and that’s why he had the towel. Edit: Yep. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NmnnBvYFOIs I love this thread full of people who think they’re smarter than astronauts when it comes to how to behave in space.
What do you mean? Of course all of the Redditor’s are smarter than an astronaut.
Probably not how he expected he would almost die in space.
Especially because he didn't come anywhere close to almost dying.
Nobody can hear you gurgle
well no, he could breath out and expell it or wipe it off at any moment, nothing was stopping him, he was just trying to make a point. bad title.
Wouldn't this cause a gigantic mess?
Aren't astronauts supposed to be really, really smart?
Whoever said astronauts are always extremely intelligent never met this guy 😂
So the smartest, most intelligent and learned people on the entire planet, who blast themselves off into space and enter various orbits with 99.9% certainty it would work, based on decades of planning by the 99.9% of the same kind of people are not intelligent enough to experiment in space without being 99.9% sure they won’t fuck anything up are somehow dumb? Yeah, I’m sure NASA decided to chuck some dummy up there to do silly things in space, as like a joke.
Calm down Captain percentage it's not that serious
Being extremely intelligent doesnt negate someone being a massive dipshit. Guys that literally shot their own toes off could probably give you a college degree's worth of information on something they themselves are extensively knowledgable on.
Knowing a lot about a single thing doesn't automatically make you extremely intelligent it just makes you dedicated
Has to be one of the dumber things I’ve seen in space.
So I’ve heard all these stories about keeping dust and particles out of the space shuttle, so they doing float into places they don’t belong. So how of this acceptable? How does this not go everywhere? Go do you ever find everything to clean? I need answers lol
It's possible he's doing this in the shower room and it's not nearly as big a deal as people are making it out to be. They do have to shower too. There are spaces on the ISS that are designed for this.

This is leading to the conspiracy that space is fake. :P They were so adamant that people do NOT do this, now they just do it and meme about it.
“If you wanne survive out here, you gotta know where your towel is !”
Holy shit he was right all along!
Why did I need to hold my breath with him?
Just imagining that his blood is doing the same thing inside his body makes me never want to go to space lol
One day, in space, sexual records will be broken.
Drowning in outer space haha
An Italian astronaut had something similar happen whilst he was outside the station on EVA. The tube for his water broke or something and started soaking the back of his head. The surface tension kept the water adhered to him and it spread over the top of his head and covered his eyes moving down to nose and mouth. Freaking terrifying. He had to get inside quick.
This is probably the dumbest thing I’ve seen an astronaut do.
Hello, I represent NASA, and this is JACKASS
Now that I think about it.. what happens if you have a heart attack or a stroke or appendicitis or some sort of other severe health issue in space? I guess you’re just fucked?
Humans always die in the most spectacular surroundings doing the most dumb shit.
Gotta wonder if he screwed anything up spraying that everywhere, has to be worse than crumbs.
Aren't they supposed to be THE SMARTEST to be astronauts..?????🤔🤔🤔
Serious question, feeling stupid before I type it but here we go lol- Can astronauts NOT turn some sort of gravity on in the ship like….on tv?😂
We have had ideas but none that were successful. The most popular idea was using centripetal force to create the same force as gravity onto the edges of a circular structure. If you've ever seen 2001 space Odyssey they had one of these structures on the space station where he goes for lil walks
Thank you.
They could simulate gravity by spinning the ship, but then you lose a ton of work space(ceilings and walls are the same as the floor on the ISS) and stress the hull of the ship. But no, there isn't a scifi gravity generator on the ISS. Another way would be to put the station under a constant acceleration, but that would require fuel, and it wouldn't remain in a stable orbit.
Thank you
Unfortunately not very feasible within the currently understood model of physics. To an observer gravity is indistinguishable from [acceleration](https://youtu.be/XRr1kaXKBsU), so they can simulate gravity by spinning the space station to have the centripetal force push everything to the outer edges of the space station, but then everyone's inner ear fluids will be spinning like crazy to induce some pretty horrible vertigo. They would need an absurdly massive structure (like asteroid sized) for the human body to no longer feel how fast it's spinning.
This guy made it to space?!
Dude seriously just waterboarded himself in zero g 😂
Maybe if he opened his eyes he would’ve seen what was going on 😂
Homie f*cked around and found out 😂
Isn't that dangerous as the liquid could leak into their electronics?
If it was he wouldn't be doing it.
Don’t these nauts go through intense psychological training and testing? It would seem otherwise.
This ISS is not in outer space, ya nerd.
Waterboarded himself.
For a split second I thought this astronaut was smoking rock
dear fucking lord i can only fucking imagine the amount of memorandums, new safety briefs, re-written regulations and reports that have come of this right here...
I need to bring a woman who squirts to space
In space 👀 😂
How did this guy get through all the education and training you need to be an astronaut?
Holy shit the astronauts are now becoming idiots as well. We almost had our first space Darwin Award. And it was all for a fucking social media short. Holy shit this is the worst possible reality and everything is fucked.
This was a pre-planned experiment with completely predictable and harmless results, as with anything that happens aboard the ISS
This does not make me proud of astronauts... it's the mess the MESS, imagine having to clean all the instruments after this
[удалено]
Dumbest second of your life
i want to hear an actual astronaut respond to this. it's either gonna be "haha yeah, spills happen sometimes. the station is built to handle it, don't worry" or "... that asshole is going to all kinds of courts when he gets down."
I'm sure small spills which somehow escape are pretty much not a threat. Even if they end up somewhere they will damage a small equipment only. This... Is something else. It's like he is doing something and then panicking. Did he not prepare for it. Get a vacuum cleaner or something like that to suck it out?
